We're always looking for that special 'wow' factor, and at this stunningly designed penthouse, you'll feel it from the moment you arrive. Maximising the sweeping skyline views over the city of London, you'll find just about every room and corner of this urban pad enjoys panoramic views and heaps of natural light due to the sleek floor-to-ceiling windows. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding on an area to kick back in, with three decked balconies and an observatory room – complete with stylish furnishings, parquet flooring, curated houseplants and modern artwork. Cooking here will be a delight in the beautiful chef's kitchen, and there's even a dedicated office space for those visiting on business. The bedrooms are wonderfully bright, with three marble en-suite bathrooms maintaining that added level of luxury. The home is in the perfect location for big London weekends away, being in Southwark and just a three-minute walk from Elephant & Castle underground station, connecting you to the entire city and everything it has to offer. You can also reach several city sights on foot, including London Bridge (twenty-one minutes) and Borough Market (seventeen minutes).
